Wang Sheng in Taiyuan, who left early, met a girl and ran alone [1], which was very difficult. Hurriedly take advantage of, it is Barr merry [2]. Love each other, ask, Why go alone at night? [3]? Female,? People in the street can't solve their own troubles, so why ask each other? ? Health:? What are you worried about? It may be effective, but it is not necessary. ? The woman is gloomy: Parents are greedy [4], so they marry Zhu Men. I am so jealous that I will insult it at night and stay away from it. ? Q:? He zhi said:? Those who died [5] have no place to live. ? Life words: It's not far from our home, but I'm bored and nobody cares. ? Women's happiness, from it. From generation to generation, lead the way and return together. There is no one in the ladies' room. q？ Why is there no family to answer the question? Jair [6]. ? Woman:? This place is nice.

Having a wife and wife, Chen, is suspected to be a concubine [7] and advised to send it. Students don't listen.

Occasionally, in the city, I met a Taoist who was ashamed of his life and asked: What is the answer? It's nothing. ? The Taoist priest said:? Your body is haunted by evil spirits, and it is not lifeless and powerful at all. The Taoist priest went and said, Confused! People born to die without knowing it. ? Born different, quite suspicious of women; Turn to think that a beautiful woman is a demon, and Italian Taoist priests are a predator by nightmare [8]. In any case, you can't enter the Zhaimen, let alone enter the door. What is suspected in the heart is beyond the wall [9]. Then the door closed. Peeking through the window [10], I saw a hideous ghost with a green face and teeth like a saw [1 1]. Spread human skin on the couch and use colored strokes; I threw a pen and lifted my skin, like a vibrating dress, and put it on my body, so I became a woman. Seeing this, the beast fell out in great fear [12]. I don't know where to go. When you are in the wild, you kneel down and beg for help. The Taoist priest said:? Please remove it. This thing is also good and bitter. If you can find a substitute, you can't bear to hurt your life. ? It's a flying trick [13] to have a baby and hang the bedroom door. Parting and appointment in Di Qing Temple [14]. When I was born, I didn't dare to go into lent, so I slept in the back and hung around. At one o'clock, when I heard something outside the door, I dared not peek and let my wife peek. But when I see a woman coming, I dare not enter at one stroke; Stand and grind your teeth, but walk for a long time. Come back when you are young, curse:? Taoist priests frighten me. Otherwise, I'd rather spit out the population [15]! ? Take it and smash it, and enter the bad bedroom door. I went to bed, broke my stomach and left with a heart. Wife number. When the servant girl enters the candle, her life is bloody [16]. Chen dare not cry. Let Jiro tell the Taoist priest quickly tomorrow. The Taoist priest said angrily:? I sympathize with it, but the devil dares. ? That is, from my own brother. This woman lost her position. Then he looked up and said, Fortunately, it is not far! ? Q:? Who is Jiro of Nanyuan? I gave up my life. ? The Taoist priest said:? Now you're here. ? Jiro was startled and thought it was not. The Taoist priest asked? Has an ignorant person ever answered:? I went to Di Qing Temple long ago, but I didn't know. Angelica asked. ? When you get back, say:? There is fruit. As soon as the morning arrives, you want to work for the servant's house, and the housekeeper stops you [17], and it's still there. ? The Taoist priest said:? It's a thing. ? Keep pace with the times. Against wood blade, I stood in my heart and shouted: Evil spirits! Give me a blow! ? When in the room, it is colorless, and when you go out, you want to escape. Taoist priests fight one by one. If you are a servant, your skin will be peeled off [18], and you will become a spectre and lie like a pig. Wood blade is the head of Taoist priests [19]; Bodies turned into smoke and piled up everywhere [20]. The Taoist priest took out a gourd, pulled it out and put it in the smoke, but it was like breathing in his mouth, and the smoke was smoked out in an instant. The Taoist stuffed his mouth into the bag. Look at people's skin, do eyes, do hands and feet, all equipped. The Taoist priest rolled it up like a scroll painting and wrapped it up, but he didn't want to leave. Chen bowed to the door and cried for the method of rebirth. The clay association cannot [2 1]. Chen Yi sad, oneself also prostrate. Tao Tu pondered:? I'm too shallow to die. I mean, if a person can do it, the request will have an effect. ? Q:? Who said that? There are crazy people lying in the dirt in the city. Try knocking at the door to mourn. Don't be angry if you insult your wife. ? Jiro is also very familiar with it. He is a Taoist and went with his sister-in-law.

Seeing a beggar jumping on the road, your nose is three feet, so you can't get close. Chen walked forward on his knees. The beggar smiled and said, A beautiful woman loves me because she told me. Laughed again:? People do their husbands [22], what is Chen Gu's mourning. Yes: What a surprise! People die and beg to live for me. I hit Chen hard with a stick. Chen endured the pain. People in the city gradually gathered. Begging for help, I vomited and vomited, and I had to kiss Chen when I raised my hand. Eat it! ? Chen Hong surfaced reluctantly: he thought of the Taoist priest's instructions, so he was strong. When I felt it in my throat, it was as hard as cotton wool, and I giggled and stopped at my chest. The beggar smiled and said, beauty loves me! ? Since then, this line has been ignored. Finally, enter the temple. Pursuing it, I don't know where it is; Before and after the ghost search, without warning, I returned with shame. Mourn the tragic death of her husband, regret the shame of eating and spitting, mourn and cry, and hope to die. Fang wants to show blood and collect the body [23], and the family looks forward to it, and no one dares to approach it. Chen hugged the body and closed his intestines. He cried.

Translation:

Wang Sheng, Taiyuan, went out early one morning and met a girl on the road. She was walking alone with a big bag on her back, and she was struggling. Wang Sheng hurried forward and found that it turned out to be a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen. He couldn't help feeling moved. Then he asked, "Why did you travel alone so early?" The girl replied, "passers-by can't help me solve my worries, so why ask more?" Wang Sheng went on to say, "What are you worried about? If you need my help, I will never refuse. " The girl said sadly, "My parents were greedy for money and sold me to a big family." The first wife of that family was jealous of me. Sooner or later, she will either hit me or scold me. I can't stand it anymore, and I'm going to fly away. When asked where she really wanted to go, the girl said, "For those who fled, there is no definite place." "Wang Sheng said," my home is not far from here. Please come to my house. "

The girl agreed happily. So Wang Sheng took her luggage and took her home together. When she arrived at Wang Sheng's house, the girl saw no one in the house and asked, "Why don't you have any family?" Wang Sheng said, "This is research." The girl said, "This is a good place. If you pity me and let me live, please keep a secret for me and don't tell anyone. " Wang Sheng agreed to her request and moved in with her. Wang Sheng hid her in the secret room, and a few days later, no one found her. One day, Wang Sheng quietly told his wife about it. His wife Chen suspected that she was a concubine of a large family and advised her to be sent away. Wang Sheng didn't agree.

On one occasion, Wang Sheng met a Taoist priest on his way to the market. The Taoist priest looked at Wang Sheng in surprise. He asked Wang Sheng, "What have you met recently?" Wang Sheng replied, "Nothing happened." "You are haunted by evil spirits," said the Taoist. Why didn't you say you didn't meet anything? " Wang Sheng tried his best to defend himself. When the Taoist saw that he was not telling the truth, he walked away, but said, "I really can't understand it. There are people in the world who are dying but don't wake up! " After listening to the unusual words of the Taoist priest, Wang Sheng became suspicious of the girl he met, but he thought, she is obviously a beauty, how can she be a monster? Probably the Taoist priest wants to find an excuse to exorcise demons to make a living. Soon after, Wang Sheng returned to the front of his college, but the door was closed and he couldn't get in. At this time, Wang Shengdun became suspicious and went over the wall. When he saw the door closed, he quietly went to the window and looked in. He saw an evil ghost with a green face and sawed teeth, spread a piece of human skin on the bed, and then painted on it with a colored pen. After painting, he threw away the pen, lifted the skin, shook it like clothes, and then put it on his body and dressed up as a beautiful woman. Seeing these scenes, Wang Sheng's soul was scared away. He got up from the ground like an animal and hurried after the Taoist priest, who had disappeared. Wang Sheng was still in hot pursuit and finally found it in the wild. Wang Sheng knelt on the ground and asked the Taoist for help. The Taoist said, "I'll just help you get rid of it. This thing is also very poor. I have never been able to find a body pair, so I can't bear to hurt its life. " So the Taoist priest gave Wang Sheng a handle to dust, and asked Wang Sheng to hang it on the bedroom door. When leaving, they made an appointment to meet at the Di Qing Temple Fair. When Wang Sheng returned home, he didn't dare to go to the study, so he slept in the bedroom and hung the Taoist dust at the door. At one o'clock, he heard a noise outside, and he was too scared to lift his head, so he had to let his wife Chen go and see what was going on. At this time, the evil spirit is outside the door. It looked at the dust and dared not enter the house. It stood there gnashing its teeth and stayed for a long time before going away. After a while, it came again and cursed the Taoist priest: "The dead Taoist priest scared me to death. Can't I spit out what I eat? " I saw that evil spirit tore off the dust, tore it into pieces, then broke into houses, went straight to Wang Sheng's bed, tore Wang Sheng's chest and abdomen, took out his heart and ran away. Wang Sheng's wife cried loudly, and the girl came in with a candle. Wang Sheng is dead, and his chest is full of blood. Chen cried with fear. Early the next morning, Chen told his younger brother Jiro to run and tell the Taoist priest. After hearing this, the Taoist priest said very angrily, "I had pity on you, but who knows how dare you be so crazy!" " "He immediately followed Jiro to the Wangs. The girl had disappeared, and the Taoist priest looked around and said, "Fortunately, it didn't go far." He asked Jiro, "Whose home is the South Yard?" Jiro said, "This is my home. The Taoist priest said, "The ghost is in your house." "Jiro was surprised to say that he wouldn't be at his house. The Taoist asked," Has anyone you don't know been to your house? "Jiro said," I went to Di Qing Temple early in the morning. I wonder if anyone has been to my house. I'll ask. "He didn't go long before he came back and said," There really is someone in my family. "An old woman came to my house this morning and said she wanted to be a servant, but my wife didn't promise. She hasn't left yet. " The Taoist priest said she was an evil ghost. So the Taoist priest and Jiro went to the south yard together. The Taoist priest stood in the middle of the yard, holding wood blade in his hand and shouting, "Ghost demon, pay for my dust!" " The old woman was terrified in the house and there was nothing she could do, so she rushed out to hide. Before the Taoist overtook him, he stabbed him with his sword. In an instant, the old woman fell to the ground, her skin fell off, and she became an evil ghost, howling like a pig on the ground. The Taoist priest cut off the ghost's head with a wood blade, and the evil spirits turned into thick smoke and scattered on the ground in small piles. The Taoist priest took out a gourd, pulled out the plug and put it in the smoke. The gourd immediately sucked in all the cigarettes like inhaling. Then the Taoist blocked the mouth of the gourd and put it in a bag. Everyone present looked at the skin and found that everything was complete. The Taoist priest rolled up the skin like a scroll and put it in a bag. When he was about to leave, Chen knelt at the door and cried for the Taoist priest to use magic to save her husband. Taoist refused to say no, and chen more was sad. He knelt on the ground and refused to get up. The Taoist priest thought for a moment and said, "My magic is very shallow, and I really can't bring it back to life. Let me introduce you to someone. Maybe he can come back to life. If you ask him, it will definitely work. " When Chen asked who the man was, the Taoist said, "There is a madman who often sleeps in the soil of the market. You might as well kowtow and beg him to save lives. Don't be angry if he insults you in every way. " Jiro heard of this man, so he thanked the Taoist priest and went to the market with his sister-in-law Chen Yi to find the madman.

In the market, they saw beggars singing wildly on the road, and their noses were several feet long and dirty, which made people avoid them. Chen knelt down and kowtowed to him, but he smiled and said, "Does the beauty love me?" Chen told him that her husband was killed by evil spirits and asked him to save her husband. The beggar smiled and said, "Every man can be your husband. Why save him? " Chen begged again and again, and the beggar said, "How strange! When a man dies, he asks me to save him. Am I a terrible person? " Say that finish, he angrily hit Chen with a wooden stick, Chen reluctantly let him play. There are more and more onlookers in the market, and almost a human wall has been built. The beggar suddenly spit out a thick sputum and sent it to Chen's mouth, saying, "Swallow it!" Chen was also flushed and embarrassed, but he had to swallow back when he remembered what the Taoist priest said. Chen felt that phlegm was as hard as cotton, making a rattle in his throat and finally stopping in his chest. I heard the beggar smile and say, "Beauty loves me!" " Say that finish and left, don't even look back. Chen and Jiro followed him. When he arrived at the temple, he disappeared. Chen's family searched around the front and back of the temple, but found no trace, so they had to return home with shame and hate. Zhen Chen has mixed feelings. She mourned the tragic death of her husband and regretted swallowing the beggar's phlegm, bring disgrace to oneself. She cried her eyes out. She wanted to die. She was trying to wipe the blood of her dead husband, but her family stood at a distance, afraid to come and help. Chen had to hold the body alone to collect intestines and cry while cooking. Because her voice was completely hoarse after crying for a long time, she suddenly felt like vomiting and felt something rushing up in her chest and abdomen. Before she turned around, it fell into her husband's chest. She was surprised to find that it turned out to be a person's heart, suddenly beating in her husband's chest, emitting hot air. Chen felt very strange, so he quickly put his hand over her husband's chest and squeezed hard into the middle of it. As soon as she relaxed, hot air came out of the wound. So she quickly tore a piece of silk and bandaged the wound. She touched her husband's body with her hand and found that she had a temperature. She is busy covering the quilt again. At midnight, my husband's breathing was weak. At dawn, my husband actually came back to life. She heard Wang Sheng say, "I'm in a trance like a dream, but I always feel a terrible stomachache." Chen looked at her husband's wound and found that there was only a scab the size of a copper coin left. Soon, it was completely cured.
